Everyone knows that these famous poker reality TV show is a big smash where in each week, there are 5 celebrities competing for a No-Limit Texas Hold'em to win $250,000.Whoever wins with every winners in the previous games donates the money to his chosen charity. As I watch some of the episodes, I've been watching them how the celebrities fold, raise, bluff, hand the cards too seriously and so much more!
When the comedians appeared on the show, it's like that you are watching a comedy show and not a poker show with hours of laughing and teasing on each players. Usually when their cards runs out, they usually take a quick exit to the Loser's Lounge!
This is when The host of Celebrity Poker Showdown, Phil Gordon convinced the 5 celebrity players namely; Nicole Sullivan of 17 again and the MadTV writer, Willie Garson of CSI Miami and Sex and the city, David Cross of Arrested development, Paul Rudd of the TV series Friends and Richard Shiff of the West Wing. They are all agreed to go all in on the first hand no matter what. Only these 5 players at the table and the host were in on the joke.
During the game, when Nicole Sullivan re-raise, Willie Garson raises, David Cross calls, Paul Rudd calls and Richard Shiff also calls. Each of the tables calls all in! The audience are stunned and the productions don't know what to do. All the actions in the shows are paused, the producer wants to start the show again. After about 5 minutes of bluffing them on, the 5 celebrities stand up and shouted, “Gotcha!” at the producers. It took almost an hour to sort it out and telling to the legal department that everyone was just joking.
Some of the celebrities who appeared in the show are competed and won at World Poker Tour, Online Poker and even at home games. The celebrity best poker players are Ben Affleck, Paul Rudd, Seth Meyers, Sara Rue, Mena Suvari and Mimi Rogers.
Yep! There's still a worst celebrity poker player at the the table and it's Scott Stapp of the band Creed.
There are many celebrities appeared first and went home with nothing, and when they returned, they've learned and strengthen their poker ability, and the person who is improving his poker ability is Matthew Perry of the TV series Friends.
The show is so entertaining, until celebrity poker showdown's guest is Dennis Rodman a basket ball superstar made a championship into the final table.Dennis Rodman and his opponent Mekhi Phifer of the TV series ER checked both the river and Mekhi showed a pair while Dennis Rodman hurled his cards face down.
The dealer jiggled the cards and started dealing the next hand. Dennis Rodman went hot under the collar and said to the dealer that he is trying to turn the cards up.
Alarmed, the director explained to Dennis Rodman that the dealer did the right thing and he folded his cards face down. Dennis Rodman got up from the table, lash out the microphone.
However, the production crews whose watching the players cards said that Dennis Rodman doesn't have a pair.
The director convinced Dennis Rodman and decided to resumed the play gain. Just a few minutes Dennis Rodman busted out , lose, and came to the Loser's Lounge.
Whether if we watch our favorite celebrity won, lose, went ballistic, laugh at their bluffs, the good thing is that with the help of Celebrity Poker Showdown they give more than a hundred charities and they maintain the fairness of the game and the popularity of a skilled game-poker.
